[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I do too much already.  Sorry, it is so much easier to accept an invitation for Sat at 5 then to look at the calendar, find a date and time, check with DH, buy food, drinks, clean up, cook, etc.  I really just don't have it in me and I am ok with it!  I work full time, my husband travels a lot and I've got two young kids (one who is the world's worst sleeper).  I am perpetually tired and frazzled.  I'm sorry if this annoys you, but all my friends know my situation and don't expect reciprocations.  I am totally upfront and honest that its not going to happen and no one cares, because they are friends.  [/quote]

So you're ok with your friends doing all of these things:
looking at the calendar, find a date and time, check with their DH, buy food, drinks, clean up, cook, etc.

But you can't do it yourself? Rude. [/quote]

Truth.

Do you really think the rest of us don't have busy lives, aren't perpetually tired and frazzled?[/quote]

Honestly, I don't expect anyone to do these things. I'm just as happy to meet at a restaurant or a park where there's no obligation to reciprocate.
